NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the sling unless desired by the patient or if they will be sitting or laying on the patient sling for long periods of time to prevent any skin issues the sling may cause.

Remove the armrests from the chair if possible (optional). Disconnect the patient sling from the patient lift.
Stand in front of the patient, lean the patient forward and place his arms on his knees for stability.
Pull the sling flaps to the side, out from under patient’s thighs.
Still standing in front of patient reach back and pull the sling up from behind the patient.
Reposition the patient into the chair.
